ur setup is pretty similar to mine but i have the HVK 100A pulling air out through the filter, and only 1 6" fan circulating the air around the room. **just dont have the vents like you do, im pretty limited on where i can vent to, bloody walls**

Brainwave.... i forgot that i dont have my aerowing reflector... i think when i get that the temps will be ok, will save me having to spend 75 on a new fan, still got no cash to buy it yet like, but will save me £25 lol

it's a good fan mate but it's a bit noisy that's the only down side that i have found with it but i found a lovely thick peice of round foam to put it in

you might still be able to get it under control mate you might just have to cut the doors a little?

Cuttin doors unfortunately isnt an option... the coolstar shade is though and at £50 will have to do, will be able to get the lamp closer.... hopefully.

yeah when ur messin with hps and small spaces u need overkill on the extraction etc, its not so bad now but as soon as summer comes i'm in trouble

thats what i was gonna add 2, leave the door open a little and if ur gettin another osc 2 moro, point it at the open door, did that before and worked

 

[W Dragon]

i was thinking cutting a few breather vents in the bottom of the doors i circulare 1 in the bottom corner cover and hide with meshing or tights and drawing air in through the bottom and air out at the top

well i just been checkin on temps again, digital was reading 108f, so b4 it must have been higher before, just attatched the fan to the refelector instead of pointing to it, and that dropped it to the 108F, opend the cubpoard door above the grow a little to see if that helps... will check in another hour to see what its running at then... its all good fun.

 

[mr west]

my temps are 78°f lights on and bout 67-9°f lights off ill check jus b4 lights on for propper temp

have you got any vents or anything for passive intake mate?

 

[W Dragon]

at the mo mine is running 23-24c lights on due to flowering but through the start was 27-30 and about 15-17c lights off

Hey Mr West... hows things

Ur temp would be ideal for me, 108F atm bit to toasty in there for my ladies ... with the CFL's i was running at 78F day 65F at night, which was perfect... that was without the extraction fan running, dont know how i thought the 400 would be ok lol

 

[SM4RT3]

No passive vents as such, the cupboard above the grow i have taken 2 wooden slats out and put thinner slats in place (easier to cut holes out for tubing) and they have gaps, put thats above the grow so no air comming in from them really as hot air rises.

[las fingerez]

good plan, will have to dismantle a few things, but that could work... will go change things around now, should take about 5 mins, plants are awake now just under house lights, so will try this b4 bed then i'll have to put the CFL's back.

it's a shame you can't cut 1 hole in the bottom of 1 of the doors mate, i'm sot sure how the reflector wings work but fingers crossed it'll all be ok mate, are you going to have any air intake to the plants then mate?
